"He tensed up and started talking in a hushed whisper saying 'This book, you must not… no you must not, oh please'. It was like something out of an 80s B movie, he even shriveled up his posture in aversion. Ive never had such an experience in a book shop, even when buying Mein Kampf for school."
"When a boy… discovers that he is more given into introspection and consciousness of self than other boys his age, he easily falls into the error of believing it is because he is more mature than they. This was certainly a mistake in my case. Rather, it was because the other boys had no such need of "

"we're not making it out of the 21st century in one piece if we don't reclaim the concept of sanctity and faith. mishima had it right: 'we soon tire of living only for ourselves' - we need noble causes (things worth dying for, fights worth losing), and the modern world has no need for noble causes"

"Someone here posted Mishima's *Yukoku* (with Embry's soundtrack)*,* which I watched, and was amazed at the sheer amount of eroticism present."
"5 - Yukio Mishima - After the Banquet"
"I've been reading Mishina books, Graham Greene, and a bunch of modern classics so maybe from one of those idk."
"I love the Yukio Mishima posting I see. Now I am not a trad homonationalist, but when I see Peak Physique I cannot help but respect whatever motivated the artist to sculpt and I have been called forth by his example to take the chisel to myself and slough off the fat and build muscle."
"This could just be anecdotal, but I noticed that every left-wing person that I've ever met seems to absolutely ADORE Mishima's work. If you were to bring up literally any other famous fascist/right-winger though, the majority of leftists would either completely shit all over them or simply just dism"
